This defense is a 1T away from legendary

Yea, the defense has done a great job and answered the bell each week but I’m going to need to see how they fare against a great O or so in the playoffs.

Our schedule is awful so I guess the Vikings will be the best decent test.
They struggled against both the Eagles and the Bucs. Probably right Vikings, Eagles probably the biggest tests remaining. Run defense has been suspect, but they have several good running teams remaining on the schedule, fix it now, so we don't have another 49er playoff performance.

You guys keep touting this mythical beast that doesnt' exist. To the point the Cowboys are drafting players like John Ridgeway...

If you ask me, they need more help on the line, and at WR.

what doesnt exist? a dominant 1 tech?

I like the pundits in here are now questioning the defense and Quinn's choice of players and what not..let it be.. You can NOT HAVE everything, its a capped league and 32teams sharing the pot of players. best d weve had in decades and complaints keep coming. Just stop. put down the game controller this isnt Madden or FF, there are limitations.

seems to be a lot of teams being ran on right no was offense got smart just when the nickel, dime and special pass defenses came to go al out to stop pass happy league, they start running again. we aren't giving up a lot of runs with scores, soem first half's we have fell short, made adjustments, and done well in the 2nd half. if teams want to run run run than punt or kick Fgs and we are stop chunk plays,..i can live with that,

Offense isa better LG and OC away from being better lol IMHO we need to get better on offense, and we are a sb contender. i believe that will happen once daks back in a groove, out d gives up under 20, that recipe for great things off you can move the ball more efficiently get leads earlier and keep the d even fresher. this Rush led offense had our D hanging their tongues out having to constantly be back on the field far too often with punts and failed drives.

Improve there, even a little bit get leads early and hold them, that a winning recipe.

Teams are teeing off on our lack of success stopping the run, which creates a viscous cycle where our D gets tired, and our greatest skillset (pass rush) goes unused early in games.

I know people are saying these are off tackle runs but that’s simply not true. Other posters have shown the run maps and most long runs are right up the middle. Eagles game is perfect example.

If we can just get a scary fat man that gobbles double teams I have faith that our linebackers will play better and I have faith that Cox and Clarke show enough promise to shore up our LB position long term.

If we get that guy, offenses become one dimensional, and it becomes a freak show
ok i've been out of the loop for a few weeks. but Where is Bohanam - SP?

A real play making DT and a real play making MLB is still required before we hit legendary status. This defense excels in pass defense but if we get behind we can still be had. And you know how much we love to fall behind.
